Realistic Trading

This mod minimises the role of the Trader to focus on the more realistic trading done with the Harbour Trading and Trading Post mods.

You may have noticed that the Trader will sell you anything even if you don't have the gold to pay for it. This exploit makes the game fundamentally unrealistic, since you can stock up on any expensive item without having any gold.

Realistic Trading corrects for this by allowing the Trader to only buy, never sell. And he only buys small quantities of a few common items, not bulky items that would never realistically fit in his box.

Instead of buying from the Trader, you can exchange items via your Harbour and Trading Post. See those mods' descriptions to learn how to use them.

You will find the game much harder with this mod installed, because you will earn only small amounts of gold from trading. Instead, you will need to balance your expenses and income. If you are completely out of money, you can get some temporarily by fulfilling quests.

When loading this mod from within Foundation, the game will automatically download Harbour Trading and Trading Post.

The trader will buy:

The trader will sell only one item, Tools, but only in very small quantities.
